The late Sabina Mugabe
Sabina, who quit active politics two year’s ago, had been in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as doctors unsuccessfully battled to save her life.
An official announcement of the death is expected later today and would be broadcast on national radio and television.
Born on
Sabina, who was nearly 10 years junior to Mugabe, 86, served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Makonde East in 1985 and later became the legislator for Zvimba South constituency between 1990 and 2008.
She was also a member of the ZANU-PF women’s league serving as its national secretary for production and labour.
During her time in active politics Sabina was part of what seemed to be the Mugabe political dynasty with President Mugabe ruling the country while she served in parliament with her two sons and their cousin, prominent business Philip Chiyangwa.
Sabina was linked to the brutal death of a white Zimbabwean farmer murdered by a mob unleashed by her when she wanted the farmer’s house for herself.

Earlier Sabina Mugabe had told Mr Ford in November 2000 she wanted his farmstead "so she could move in". - Zimdiaspora/ZimOnline.
